Pregnant After The Contract Ended Chapter 227
"I've got you! I've got you!" Lucas growled, holding them tight against his chest as the car stabilized and sped away from the accident scene.Leo let out a small cry, startled by the loud noise, but Naomi was completely frozen. She was pressed against Lucas’s chest, feeling the frantic, powerful beating of his heart. His arms wrapped around her were shaking—not out of fear for himself, but out of absolute terror that something might happen to her and their son.After a few heart-stopping miles, the driver reported, "We are clear, sir. The backup team has secured the scene. The driver of the truck fled on foot."Lucas slowly pulled back, his breathing heavy. His eyes immediately checked Leo. "Leo, buddy, are you okay? Are you hurt?"Leo blinked away his tears, shaking his head. "I... I'm okay. Mr. Lucas held me tight."Lucas then turned to Naomi, his hands gently framing her face. "Naomi? Are you hurt? Talk to me."Naomi looked into his eyes, seeing the raw, terrifying fear in them. T

The roar of the airplane engines vibrated through the cabin as the flight descended through the thick morning clouds over Ashford City.Leo was glued to the window, his wide eyes reflecting the sprawling skyline below. In his small hands, he held Captain tightly against the glass."Look, Mommy! Look at the tiny cars!" Leo squealed, his small shoes kicking against the front of his seat. "Are we going to see Mr. Lucas now? Did he bring the telescope?"Naomi sat beside him, her fingers tightly intertwined in her lap. She offered a soft, reassuring smile to her son, but inside, her stomach was tied in knots.Five years. It had been five whole years since she stepped foot in this city.She remembered leaving on a cold rainy morning with a tiny suitcase, a broken heart, and a secret growing inside her. Back then, she was just an invisible contract wife whose time had run out. She had been tossed aside, ignored by Lucas, and humiliated by his family.Now, she was returning. Not as a desperat

"You will regret this, Lucas," she hissed through gritted teeth, turning on her heel and stomping out of the room.As the door slammed shut, Lucas let out a weary breath and sat on the edge of his bed. He rubbed his temples.Was Valentina behind that text message? Or was it her father, Victor?Over the past few months, Lucas's private investigators had uncovered quiet, suspicious movements in the company’s offshore accounts. Victor and Valentina were secretly funneling money out of the Ashford Corporation, planning to ruin the company from the inside and frame Lucas for financial corruption. They thought he was too distracted to notice.If Victor or Valentina touch a single hair on Naomi or Leo's head... Lucas thought, his jaw tightening, I will destroy them both.Down the long, luxurious hallway of the grand manor, in a quiet wing distant from the noise, lay the master bedroom of Old Lady Evelyn—Lucas’s mother.The once proud, strict, and arrogant woman now looked frail and thin. She

The single sentence stared back at Lucas from the glowing screen of his phone, cold and menacing."Stay away from Naomi and the boy... or this time, you will lose them forever."The warm, gentle feeling that had filled his heart just moments ago turned into ice. His thumbs hovered over the screen. Who sent this? Was it a threat from a rival business competitor trying to shake him? Or was it someone closer—someone who knew about Naomi’s return and the existence of little Leo?He immediately dialed the unknown number, but as he expected, an automated voice informed him that the line had been disconnected. It was a burner phone.Lucas stood by his hotel window until the early hours of the morning. He barely slept an hour. Five years ago, his own coldness and negligence had driven Naomi away. He hadn't protected her then. But now? He would burn the world down before letting anyone harm her or his son.The next morning on the other side of London, the sun barely had time to clear the horiz

Naomi felt something shift deep inside her chest. For months, she had built a thick brick wall around her heart to protect herself from being hurt again. But hearing his quiet, selfless words, she felt another small brick loosen and fall away, letting a sliver of warmth reach the cold places inside her."Thank you," she said, her voice softer now.Lucas slowly walked back to the edge of his bed and sat down. He genuinely felt that if he stayed standing any longer, his legs might give out from the sheer weight of relief."When would you like to come over?" he asked, trying to sound organized and calm.Naomi thought about her schedule. "The art exhibition is the day after tomorrow," she reasoned. "So maybe... the day after that?"Lucas couldn't contain the happiness in his voice. "That sounds perfect. I'll drive over and pick both of you up in the morning."Naomi caught herself hesitating. Getting into his car, letting him drive them—it felt a little too intimate, a little too much like

Her mind drifted back to the conversation she had with her son earlier that afternoon. Leo had looked up at her with those big, honest eyes and said something that had cut right to her heart: A big house can still be lonely.He was so young, yet he noticed things adults tried so hard to hide. She had spent so much time trying to protect herself, building walls so high that no one could hurt her again. But in doing so, had she made their world too small?Then she remembered what Martha had told her over a cup of tea, when Naomi had confessed how confused and terrified she felt about the future. You don't have to figure out the rest of your life today, Naomi, Martha had said softly. You only have to decide your very next step.Just one step. Not a lifetime commitment. Not a promise that everything was fixed. Just one small, brave step into the unknown.Naomi squeezed the phone a little tighter in her hand. "I've been thinking," she admitted.Lucas didn't interrupt. He stayed quiet, bare
